Each Subsidiary of the Rexford Entities, to the extent required under applicable Laws, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its Properties make such qualification necessary, other than such failures to be so qualified as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 1.01(b), none of the Rexford Entities or its Subsidiaries own any material equity or ownership interest in any other Person.

The execution, delivery and performance by each Rexford Entity of each agreement or document included in or contemplated by the Formation Transaction Documentation (including any agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Rexford Entity pursuant to any Formation Transaction Documentation) to which it is a party have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary actions required of such Rexford Entity. Each agreement, document and instrument contemplated by the Formation Transaction Documentation and executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Rexford Entity constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Rexford Entity, each enforceable against such Rexford Entity in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar Laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity.

Section 1.03    CAPITALIZATION. All of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each Rexford Entity and its Subsidiaries (x) have been duly and validly issued and (y) are not subject to preemptive rights or appraisal, dissenters’ or other similar rights under the organizational documents of or any contract to which such Rexford Entity is a party or otherwise bound, except, in each case, as would not prevent the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Formation Transaction Documentation or as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 1.04    CONSENTS AND APPROVALS.

Section 1.05    NO VIOLATION. None of the execution, delivery or performance by any Rexford Entity of any agreement or document included in or contemplated by the Formation Transaction Documentation to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated thereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right under, (a) the organizational documents of such Rexford Entity or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) any agreement, document or instrument to which such Rexford Entity or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or properties are bound by or (c) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree binding on such Rexford Entity or any of its Subsidiaries (or its assets or properties), except for, in each case, any such breaches or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No Rexford Entity, any of its Subsidiaries or, to the Principals’ Knowledge, any third party has taken any action that (or failed to take any action the omission of which) would result in the revocation of any such notice, license, permit, certificate or authorization where such revocation or revocations would, individually or in the aggregate,

3

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor has any one of them received any written notice of violation from any Governmental Authority or written notice of the intention of any entity to revoke any such notice, license, permit, certificate or authorization, that in each case has not been cured or otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of such Governmental Authority or other entity except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 1.07    COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

To the Principals’ Knowledge, no Rexford Entity nor any of their respective Subsidiaries has received from any insurance company any notices of cancellation or intent to cancel any insurance.

Section 1.15    EMPLOYEES. Except as set forth on Schedule 1.15, no Rexford Entity nor any of their respective Subsidiaries has or has ever had any employees. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no Rexford Entity nor any of their respective Subsidiaries is delinquent in payments to any of its employees, consultants or independent contractors for any wages, salaries, commissions or bonuses for any service performed, or for amounts required to be reimbursed to such employees, consultants or independent contractors and (ii) each Rexford Entity has, to the extent applicable: (a) complied in all material respects with all applicable laws related to employment; and (b) withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority, or is holding for payment not yet due to such Governmental Authority, all amounts required to be withheld from employees.

ARTICLE II.

NATURE OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.01    SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive after the effective time of the mergers, contributions and other Formation Transactions contemplated in the Formation Transaction Documentation until the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”). If written notice of a claim in accordance with Section 4.02 has been given prior to the Expiration Date, then the relevant representation or warranty shall survive, but only with respect to such specific claim, until such claim has been finally resolved. Any claim for indemnification not so asserted in writing by the Expiration Date may not thereafter be asserted and shall forever be waived.

ARTICLE III.

INDEMNITY HOLDBACK ESCROW

Section 3.01    ESTABLISHMENT. On the Closing Date, the REIT shall deposit each Principal’s Individual Percentage of the Indemnity Holdback Amount, set forth on Schedule III into the Indemnity Holdback Escrow in the form of REIT Shares and OP Units, with each such security to be valued at the IPO Price. A separate “Participant Account” within the Indemnity Holdback Escrow will be established and maintained for each Principal. The list of Participant Accounts, the associated Principal and the amounts and types of consideration being deposited into each is attached as Schedule I to the Escrow Agreement. For income tax purposes, the parties hereto agree that the Principals shall be treated as the owners of their respective Participant Account and shall report the applicable amounts of their Individual Percentage of the Indemnity Holdback Amount and the earnings thereon consistently with the foregoing.

ARTICLE IV.

Indemnification

Section 4.01    INDEMNIFICATION OF CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES. The Consolidated Entities and their current and future Subsidiaries (each of which is an “Indemnified Party”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Principals, under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, solely and exclusively out of the Indemnity Holdback Escrow, from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnified Parties as a result of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Article I of this Agreement (but in all events subject to the limitations in this Agreement, including the survival limitations set forth in Section 2.01 hereof) (collectively, the “Indemnified Losses”); provided, the Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties made pursuant to Article I of this Agreement to the extent that the Indemnified Losses with respect to such breaches exceed, in the aggregate, one percent (1.0%) of the value (determined at the IPO price per share) of the aggregate number of REIT Shares and OP Units actually issued to the Principals pursuant to Formation Transaction Documentation (the “Deductible”). No Indemnified Party may make a claim hereunder without the prior written consent of the REIT. For the avoidance of doubt, the Principals shall only be liable for Indemnified Losses (after giving effect to and only for amounts in excess of the Deductible) up to the Indemnity Holdback Amount. Any payment made from the Indemnity Holdback Escrow in respect of an Escrow Claim (as defined below) will be allocated among all Participant Accounts pro rata in accordance with the Individual Percentages.

Section 4.02    CLAIMS.

(a)    At the time when either of the Consolidated Entities learns of any potential claim under this Agreement (an “Escrow Claim”) against the Principals, it will promptly give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Principals and the Escrow Agent; provided that, without limiting Section 2.01, the failure to so notify the Principals or the Escrow Agent shall not prevent recovery under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Principals shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. Each Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the Principals giving rise to such Escrow Claim. The Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Principals, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to a Third Party Claim (as defined below); provided that, without limiting Section 2.01, failure to do so shall not prevent recovery under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Principals shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b)    The Principals shall be entitled, at their own expense, to elect in accordance with Section 4.06 below, to assume and control the defense of any Escrow Claim based on claims asserted by third parties (“Third Party Claims”), through counsel chosen by the Principals and reasonably acceptable to the REIT, if they give written notice of their intention to do so to the Consolidated Entities within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the applicable Claim Notice; provided, however, that the Indemnified Parties may at all times participate in such

8

defense at their own expense. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Principals exercise the right to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Principals in such defense and make available to the Principals, at the Principals’ expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under such Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Principals. No compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by either the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, or the Principals, on the other hand, without the other party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law and no effect on any other claims that may be made against such other party, (ii) each Indemnified Party that is party to such Third Party Claim is released from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, and (iii) there is no equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party that is party to such Third Party Claim or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the status of the REIT as a real investment trust within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code, then the REIT shall make such decision to compromise or settle the Third Party Claim without the need to obtain the Principals’ consent.

Section 4.03    DELIVERY AND RELEASE OF INDEMNITY ESCROW WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS. Upon resolution of any Escrow Claim or portion of an Escrow Claim as evidenced by a written instruction of the REIT, in which an officer of the REIT certifies that the instruction has been approved by either (x) the Principals in accordance with Section 4.06 or (y) a final award of an arbitral tribunal in accordance with this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall release the amount and type of Indemnity Holdback Amount specified therein, and shall charge such amount to the Escrow Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement). Upon any disbursement from the Indemnity Holdback Escrow pursuant to this Agreement, the Consolidated Entities will purchase (at a price per REIT Share or OP Unit, as applicable, equal to the IPO Price) such number of the securities as will permit the Escrow Agent to distribute cash in lieu of any fractional REIT Shares or OP Units.

Section 4.04    DELIVERY RELEASE OF INDEMNITY ESCROW AFTER EXPIRATION DATE. Within ten (10) days after the Expiration Date, and at the end of each calendar quarter thereafter while any Indemnity Holdback Amount remains in the Indemnity Holdback Escrow, the Consolidated Entities shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a notice which shall (i) set forth a list of outstanding Escrow Claims, together with a good faith estimate of the maximum value (expressed in dollars) of each such Escrow Claim and the aggregate amount of such values that would be allocated against the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 4.02(a) if the actual amount of Indemnified Losses in respect of such Escrow Claim were equal to such good faith estimate of the maximum value thereof and (ii) instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Principals any consideration in the Escrow Fund in excess of the aggregate value allocated to the Escrow Fund in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (i).

Section 4.05    EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. The sole and exclusive remedy for Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all claims relating to a breach of this Agreement and the other Formation Transaction Documentation shall be recovery from the Indemnity Holdback Escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Principals shall not be liable or obligated to make payments under this Agreement or any other Formation Transaction Documentation in excess of the Indemnity Holdback Amount.

9

Section 4.06    AUTHORIZATION. For purposes of this Article IV, a decision, act, consent, election or instruction of the Principals shall be deemed to be authorized if approved in writing by the Principals, and the Escrow Agent and Consolidated Entities may rely upon such decision, act, consent or instruction as provided in this Section 4.06 as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Principals. The Escrow Agent and the Consolidated Entities, including their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction. The Principals may from time to time by written notice to the Consolidated Entities appoint a representative or representatives to exercise such powers with respect to one or more claims as may be delegated by the Principals.

Section 4.07    CHARACTERIZATION OF PAYMENTS. Any indemnity payments made from the Indemnity Holdback Escrow pursuant to this Article IV shall constitute an adjustment of the consideration received by the Principals for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by all parties on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Law.

ARTICLE V.

14

time of the hearing.

The award, which shall set forth the arbitrator’s findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall be filed with JAMS and mailed to the parties no later than thirty (30) days after the close of the arbitration hearing. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties and not subject to collateral attack. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any federal or state court having jurisdiction thereof.

Such courts shall have authority to, among other things, grant temporary or provisional injunctive relief in order to protect any party’s rights under this Agreement. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

(d)    The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the non-prevailing party shall pay all expenses and fees of JAMS, all costs of the stenographic record, all expenses of witnesses or proofs that may have been produced at the direction of the arbitrator, and the fees, costs, and expenses of the arbitrator.
